STATEMENT
���� This FY2025 supplemental
appropriation provides $597,450 to the Department of Children and Families for
a grant to HomeFront NJ for a Diaper Access Expansion Pilot Program.�
HomeFront�s mission is to end homelessness
in Central New Jersey by harnessing the caring, resources, and expertise of the
community.�
After decades of informally
providing diapers to the families, the organization began planning in 2016
for a more formalized Diaper Program. �In the
years since, the demand for diapers has led HomeFront to expand significantly
their diaper service to local
families.�
These additional State resources would allow the organization to serve a larger
region, with the potential for Statewide implementation. �
According to the
National Diaper Bank
Network
, 47 percent of
parents in the United State reported diaper need in 2023. �Diaper need is
defined as parents� and caregivers� inability to provide a sufficient supply of
diapers to keep their babies clean, dry, and healthy.
